HI Tom Yeah, makes sense somewhat. Although, on paper it is not possible to draw a line going up in the air? Is it? On paper the vertical line is the line going from north to eastt and the horizontal line is going from south to west? Then you get the diagonal line that goes oblique. So with a 3d game like you are creating, do I need a keybord with 6 arrow keys? Do I understand you correctly? In your 3d game I will move east and west with my left and right arrow keys, norrrrrth and south with my up and down arrow keys and from floor to ceiling with yet another 2 additional arrow keys?

They are perpendicular to each other. That means running in two completely different directions. Let me give you a simple example maybe you can under stand. On a piece of paper you draw a line from left and right, east and west, that represents the x axis of the plane. Now, lets draw a line running from top to bottom of the paper that runs North and South and call that axis y. At this point we have your cross shape that points to the four compass directions North, South, East, and West. Finally, we are going to add a third dimension to this sheet of paper by driving a stake through the center of that cross. We now have a new axis running from floor to ceiling and we will call that axis z. When we get done we have three lines all pointing to six different cardinal directions East, West, North, South, floor, and the ceiling. Make sense?
